Re: Fragrances you like now that you used to dislike.

I've said a few times that Michael Kors for men is such a one.

Another is Mister by Jasper Conran. If this was put out by Amouage it would be hailed as a masterpiece. But it's not. And I don't care, I absolutely love it. Really avante guarde for a mainstream fragrance, a bit spiky but delicious with it. I didn't like it at first, but I am just about through with my initial 50ml bottle and will be buying a 100ml to replace it.

In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...

Blind bought Gucci Pour Homme I several months ago, and I read many reviews of it before I bought it, which was a mistake, because all I thought about was the pencil shavings that people kept saying. I've since gotten over that though and love it. Spicy, sweet, woody, mature, great cold weather fragrance.

L'Air du Desert Marocain. I didn't like it at all when I first tried it and even made a comment sometime last year about how suffocating I thought it was. After repeated wearings, though, I have come around to actually loving it. I'm still using the same sample (you only need a little of this one), but I think eventually I'm going to buy a bottle.

My biggest surprise is Guerlain SDV. At first I found it too simple and not masculin enough for my taste. But after a few tests, I even love it so much more than Tom Ford TV. The best vanille scent that I've ever known.
